ABOUT ASHRAM MUNIVARA

Ashram means a hermitage, monastic community, or place of spiritual practice and retreat.Ashram Munivara in Sanskrit:Vara means one who is the best, excellent or The Ultimate.Muni means Yogi or Saint.

Ashram Munivara was established by Sri Jaya Sakti 10th July 2006 and is part of a number of Jnana Buda Siwa Ashrams in Indonesia founded by Sri Jaya Nara. It is a place of worship for locals and foreigners where we practice Tantra, Yantra and Mantra as a way to come to the Supreme Lord (Shiva).

Doing puja, spiritual dance, meditation, fasting, chanting, yoga (asanas) and so on are all forms of Tantra that help to enhance positive energy. The spiritual practices, taught by the Guru of Ashram Munivara, Sri Jaya Sakti (Sri Guru), are based on Universal teachings of Lord Shiva. These teachings have been passed down through the spiritual lineage to him from Sri Jaya Nara. (Guru to Guru / Param-Param).

We teach a full spectrum of the yogic (spiritual) path not just asanas (postures). Our aim is to give students an experience including yoga (asanas), puja, sadhana and japa (recitation of mantra).

Ashram Munivara is Sri Guru’s personal offering to assist more people in the wider spiritual community. The Ashram is non profit and managed by his students, it is not part of the management of Ubud Bodyworks and Om Ham Retreat.

ABOUT JNANA BUDA SIWA

Jnana Buda Siwa is founded by Maha Guru Sri Jaya Nara.

In general, the knowledge of Buda is the knowledge that comes from within and the knowledge of Shiva is how to materialise the spiritual knowledge into Yadnya.

Basically this means:Buda Siwa knowledge is known as JNANA BUDA SIWA. The word Jnana means knowledge, Buda is God within oneself which is called Atman while the meaning of Siwa is God without.

Someone who has firm and determined Bhakti is fully aware of the Atman within themselves so the Holy knowledge will grow within. This Holy knowledge affects the mind where all brilliant ideas grow and are realised as Yadnya.
